This is not a critic of the idea science, ie some kind of pursuit of knowledge using any reasonable means. It is a critic of the modern institution that academic science currently is. As such, yes, some critics are in fact more generally applicable than just for science (as you say, division of labor). But these are particularly visible in science and have specific consequences in this context.
